that Torrey bought with notice of the

held that on the sale of lessehold proper

Henry Georges Mistake.

Professor W. r.. Harris IN the Forum
The rate of assessment for taxes is
usually fixed at two-thirds of the
market value. Allowing for this, the
actual value of all land in the United
States owned as private property
must have been somewhat less than
S10,000,000,000 for the year 1880.
Counting the rent on this land at A
per cent, we have less than 100000,
900 per annum, making an average OF
nearly So for each inhabitant, or lit
tie more than two cents per day.
THE result surprises us. Twocents
per day, or s. per year, added to
their income, would not bring ease
and luxury to those who are strug-
CLING with poverty. Nor would it
amount to vast revenue in theaggre-
gate as tax. Four per cent-and il
is fair to estimate the return in rent
as under this figure because, when
land yields more than this amount in
rent the valuation is at once raised
would give the Government only
100000, 900, a sum only slightly in
excess of the amount annually paid foI
local taxes Estate, county, township
and district), while the total of tax.
alton, national and local, amounts to
nearly $S00,000,000.
To pay all taxes both national and
local, ground rent would have to be
increased to u per cent =
The actual annual income may be
safely placed at a little over sever
and quarter billions-say $1,000,
100000. This would..give forty cents
per day, or $146 per year, for each in
habitant The total taxation, nation
al and local, takes four and one-fftt
cents per day, one-tenth of the aver
age income. The ground rentamounti
to only one-eighteenth of the tota
average earnings. II this would make
any great difference in the wages o
the poor, it is certain that small
grain of economy would go mucf
further.

Communicated

The Martinsburg Fire Department
receiving an invitation from their
Brother Firemen, Of Allentown, Pa,
to take part in their State Firemens'
Convention and parade, on Sept. %,
next. and with slumbering hope that
the @. V. r. r. Co, had forgiven our
people for annoying them so much
during our late 4th of July arrange
ments and celebration by asking them
to please let the people of the Cum
berland Valley come to see and take
part with us, that the department
appointed committee to await upon
or confer with the great chiefs. They
gave the boys to understand that if
they wanted to take the Allentown
trip.in, that they would reluctantly
condesend to let them ride over their
road, by paying an exorbitant price,
only S5.65 per head, providing they
would have so or more people, 1t is
presumed that they heard that our
4th of July celebration was success
both in numbers and financially with
out their help, that the boys receiv
ed the surrluss of few dollars for
their department treasury, and they
thought that this was good time to
scoop up that, and all the little Jay
ing around loose amongst our PEG
pie, preparatory to this end of the
road being sold in short time, as no
doubt the G. V. is preparing to scoop
the M. & p. part of it, 1t is with re
greet that our people should be treat
ed SO niggardly and with such con-
tempt and especially by such bob
tail corporation as the G. V, II. r.
These are plain facts. Some 2 years
ago, the G. V. hauled our people to
Harrisburg, Pa, and return for
$1.25 per head, with ten per cent. re-
bate, little over half the distance to
Allentown and now want S5.65. 1t
looks as if they were determined to
turn the good people of Martinsburg
down every time, and especially the
fremen, but it is all right, Mr.. G. V.
you will find the fire laddies and their
friends of Martinsburg will bob up
serenely every time. And when ever
we may want to have good old
fashioned 4th of July, or anything
else we will have it all the same, with
out the aid or assistance of your
mighty corporation. FIREMAN.

Progressive Order of American Work
iugmen.

The Progressive Order of Ameri-
can Workingmen is the name Of q
new labor organization lately started
in Chicago. The principles for it's
governance which the order announ-
ces are materially different from
those which control most, if not all,
of the numerous labor societies now
existing. None but actual workers
can become members and opposition
to strikes is a fundamental principle.
The order claims that every differ
ence can be adjusted by arbitration
and in this it is sustained by the
highest authority, that of Christ
himself, who taught that doctrine.
In case ofdifferences between en-
ployers and workmen the men con-
cerned are to use their best endeav-
ors to effect an adjustment. After a
failure in the first effort the matters
in dispute are referred to the coun-
Gil of the order, and it gives the
whole subject more careful consider
alton to discover why an agreement
cannot be effected, and after this ex-
animation makes its award as to
what is just between the parties.
Should either workmen or employ
er be dissatisfied or refuse to accept
the conclusions arrived at, disinter-
ested parties are called in to settle
the differences. Pending all these
negotiations the workmen continue
at their avocations and the employer
is guaranteed against a strike, and
assured that he will receive fair no.
tice of the intention Of all or any of
hi workmen determined to leave his
employ, so that he can provide for
the contingency.
There ought to be no possibility
of failure to agree when this spirit
is displayed upon either side. So
much -mindedness and considera-
ton always arouses a kindred feeling,
and if this order could secure all the
workingmen of the country in it's or
ganization the relations of capital and
labor would soon be adjusted, par
ticularly if the rule is adhered to
which prevents any but actual work
ingmen from becoming members.
Broken down political hacks and
self-seeking professional workmen
are the bane of all present labor or
ganizations.-National Republican,
Washington.

Only a Resolute Effort Needed.
Boston Herald { Mug.)

The recommendation made by a
portion of the Republican press,
looking to the rehabilitation of the
Republican party in the South is, on
its face, good one. There ought
to be a stronger minority in that
section than there is, and more re-
spectacle one. 1t would be for the
interest of the people there, and for
the interest of the nation generally.
The Republican organization died
out of influence in the South ten
years ago. Republicanism is by no
means extinct, however, in that sec
ton, as the large vote cast for it in
most--states still bears witness. 1t
might be effectually revived in more
than one state if the effort was made
in the right spirit. All that is need
ed is resolute movement to estab-
lish respectable Republican party
there.

der an order of Judge Bond, made
some time ago, Blind Tom was

to the United States Court room by
j. n. Bethune, 10 be delivered to A.
J. Lercher, counsel for Mrs. Eliza
Bethune, the new committe appoint
ed for Tom, with view of carrying
him to New York. Tom was much
opposed to the change. Charity
Virgins, his mother, came on to
meet Tom. When she saw him she
said tom, aih't you going to speak
to your mother p but he turned his
back on her. At noon Commission
es Fowler opened his court, and Mr..
Bethune then delivered Tom to the
marshal, and said "Tom, / deliver
you to the court, and you will be
turned over to thief, but if the
people where you are going get tir-
ed of you and turn you off you can
come back to your old home and we
will take care Of you" Tom said ;
II don't want to go | won't go,n
and was almost in tears. The mar
shall said: "Yes, but people some
times have to go where they do not
want to-" and Tom replied "But
they can fight" "What do you
want for dinner. Tom ?o said the
marshal. Something good,' Tom
replied. Dinner was given him, and
he seemed more content. Then the
marshall said, "Come on" but, in
stead of coming on, Tom crowded
back into corner, and appealed to
Mr.. Bethune not to let him go. Many
of those present were much affected
by the scene.
